Well after having the week off work through illness i have finally found some time to post some pictures of the winter progress i have managed to prep the car for a much needed respray, which was finally done a month ago by my mate chris. Also smoothed over the fuel tank filler as i have a alloy fuel tank to go in the back. I have also turretted the back arches and fitted rear coilovers and a beam axle. Also the engine is out and been rebored at Med. Hopefully it will be back soon!

Reminds me of my old mini (well the colour does), yours is however shiney and not falling to bits, so that is where the similarity ends.

Hope to be ready end of April! I was rebuilding the gearbox on the saturday of avon last year and then it rained on the sunday! IWas only supposed to be a spruce but have ended up doing loads! The colour dare i say it is a vauxhall colour from the corsas! Aruba blue but still looks retro i think! Ron |

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder. On 15th Aug, 2011 robert said:
